I had a 556 round fall out of my coat at school and the random lady next to me loud as can be said”why do you have a High powered gun bullet!?” I replyed its not a bullet its a piece of metal (first thing that came to my head) she said “ohh OK.”

You report to a federal building and remember to leave your phone and gun in the car but forget about the full magazine in your coat pocket as your belongings travel through the X-ray. (It requires no explanation and the security officer politely asks you to return it to your vehicle.)

You buy a gun and three days later, all your friends say you’ve already told them about it…twice. BTW, the great friends simply give you a “courtesy” nod while the others start repeating stuff about your gun back to you.

Didn’t have firearms insurance. “Friend” broke into house and almost got whole collection (knew my Password to one safe but key to other stays with me) home insurance only gave me $2500. will have insurance on what’s left soon.

You’re retired and have a part time job at a firearms dealer just so you can talk all day long with people with the same interests and the discount. And very little of your paycheck makes it to the bank.

Many moons ago I had been shopping for my first revolver, thinking Model 28
Couple days later while thinking about spending $ on a handgun I really could not afford at the time.
Happened to check my watch and it was 357, I still have it that 28.

I caught myself the other day, while doing conservation work, with my index finger along the handle of my hand clippers until I started clipping, at which point I curved it around the handle. A friend said he’s noticed me doing that for months.

Just happened to me on the way home. Saw a bumper sticker that appeared to be the standard spoked-circle emblem of the empire from Star Wars. Upon second inspection, recognized it as a cross section of Eugene Stoner’s bolt.

I’m still looking. Hunting public lands in CA has it’s drawbacks. I have hopes that now that the rains are here maybe the pigs will move back onto public land and we won’t have to pay 6 bills to shoot a pig doing thousands of dollars worth of damage to the farmers property.

You can recite the Article the Fourth / 2nd Amendment by heart, including punctuation
You laugh at what the NYC police call an “arsenal”
You think your gun safe is too small
“BC” doesn’t refer to a time period
You suck at math, but you can convert between standard and metric with ease
You look at yourself in the mirror each morning, but not to see if you’re fat
You convince your significant other to setup a trust
You know who said the following:
“The shoulder thingy that goes up”
“You don’t need an AR-15 to defend yourself”
“Life is good”
“I am a grown-ass man”
“Hey Sharp Shots”
You read TTAG at least five times a day

When you get pulled over and the officer asks for for regestration, you open the glove box, assorted ammo falls out and the officer nervously asks if the is a firearm in the truck and you answer, I’m not sure

If you have a large tackle box containing all the springs and pins you could ever need for your firearms. Parts could be hard to find after the zombie apocalypse.
If the first thing you want to know about a politician running for office is what is their NRA grade.

You buy a gun, only to find out that you already owned it and sold it two years before (and cant remember why).
You buy a gun to fit a nice holster you found at a great deal
Ditto on buying one to go with a set of “bargain” grips
After your 1st divorce, its hard to go to a gun show for a couple years,
because every table has at least one of the guns you used to own.
You have never seen a episode of “Walking Dead” because you saw the 1st 10 mins of the pilot and turned the channel when at the roadblock scene, they “made sure their Glock safeties were off”

If you recently learned to run a chainsaw and spent two months on a professional saw crew, and it took you a month to NOT be a bit freaked out that you can’t really have your finger off the trigger while not revving.

…you’re on a date with a girl, she asks if you have protection, and you reply, “Yes. Which caliber?”
…when shopping at Best Buy, you absent-mindedly ask the floor salesman which appliances come with manual safeties.
…when someone asks how many guns you own, you break out a calculator and call your tracking agent for an inventory update.
…the UPS guy knows you on a first-name basis and knows, based on which online gun parts supply stores have packages for you, when to bring extra help to off-load your shipment this week.
…when you buy ammo, you don’t go to Walmart, you award a supplier a contract.
…you wear a little plastic bracelet on your arm that says, “What Would John Moses Browning Do?”
…you actually do own a couple of High Point pistols. They’re tied to long ropes and attached to the bow of your fishing boat down on the dock.

Let’s see.
1. You and your wife consider a nice quiet evening at home to be sitting in front of the TV hand priming. Yep, you guessed it – we wear eye and ear protection and turn the TV up loud. It hasn’t happened yet (while hand priming) but I’ve popped a few on the press.
2. You buy another of the same shotgun because you re-purposed the first one and you have a nice forend with a streamlight on it just sitting there needing a shotgun.

Your enemies call you a gun nut, your friends step in and deny that you are a gun nut because you are alternatively an ammosexual, at which point you have to cut them short and set them straight that you are actually, instead merely a gundamentalist.

When you have a major screw up you refer to it as a “just shoot me now” moment. When you decide to quit a really awful job, you tell your husband “time to put a bullet in it” When you give ammo and 5Star speed loaders and put them a gun rug, instead of wrapping paper for Christmas gifts to family. Sold or gave away a pistol or revolver cause you wanted to cut down on the calibers you had, then missed them so had to buy replacements for the exact same guns, then you are a gun nut

The first few times you leave the house with a defensive gun in the car and you pray that you get pulled just so that you can try out your perfectly practiced “Officer, I just wanted to let you know I am carrying a gun today…” spiel for the first time.

That look on the repairman’s face when he pulls a handful of 22 shells out of the washing machine pump. His reaction when you scold your 6 year old for leaving them in his pocket. Bonus points when he blames his little sister.

Does that mean she will go all the way?
I married a 9mm. Just the right size. Elected Most Popular in high school and Homecoming Queen.
In college, I dated a .40S&W. She was short and snappy.
And I admit it. I have been with a .45acp. She was fat and slow and after just one shot, I was done.
